- Nationwide, 16% of households were empty nests in 2022, down slightly from 17% before the pandemic.
- Much more of these empty nesters, touted as an important potential source of housing supply should they downsize, are already located in more affordable Midwest and Southern markets, and therefore are unlikely to meaningfully lower house prices where it may matter most.
- Locations popular with Gen Z and millennial households have the fewest empty nesters. This mismatch means that empty nesters are unlikely to significantly improve housing affordability in high-demand areas.
